time lost without you
precious moments never had
seasons of love gone

I ran into walls
I was scared and ran from walls
I stroll around walls

woke up to the rain
reached for my book in relief
not missing a thing

fresh aspen growth
wafted on cool mountain air
hints of coming rain

Wild hearted woman
turbo diesel *****, sin
in heels, long legged
sweet striding thighs high stepping
heels caving me to my knees

in my deep recess
where my true self goes to think
I take you with me

The river currents heart
beats to the salmon tails
as both must keep time

crazy life cycles
always throwing hay makers
took my shining star
shaded her heaven sent light
dimmed her, she still glows

black cloud horizon
standing on this sunny side
parched leaves wave in praise

tourniquet tightens,
cutting valuable supply
can’t stop, my head throbs
watching you come in the room
lighting it up, strolling by

The wind in leaves, tumbling
Make you look skyward, ever further
Sensing for when it brakes

off main streets
beneath broken bridges
rivers flow past

it's there and then gone
almost like light, flashing me
chasing lightening
blinding me for just moments
beautiful brilliance, blazing
illumination
glowing, bursting, glaring
dreaming in dazzling light

Crickets warm up at summer dusk
the breeze cools the fire baked crust
spanish moss begins to wake

life full of wonder
At the meandering ways
impossibilities
The Davids slaying evil giants
never surrender
The Alamo story not yet written
Emboldened
To never let you go or let you forget I love you

My heart may have been broken
but it never backed down from a fight
It didn't give up or surrender to fear
It will break itself against your mighty ramparts
To remind you why you chose me, love me
Trust me and need me when the tough times
Always seem to come.

little thumb suckers
moms knack of making us men
feel like tiny boys
being punished for bad deeds
moms will, never forsaken

mindless bobbers bob
floating on tempest waters
going thru motions

concrete footprints
size one date two thousand three
some things never change

sometime to renew
promise brand new improved you
climb a mountain too

doodles on pages
circles with stars surround mars
what was I smoking

Quiet lonely stroll
I stop to hear the wind blow
Even she has left me

forests of old growth
shared ancient roots entangled
grew from the first tree

the worst in rising up
is the coming down
and never ascending again

sunny warm kisses
upon lipstick red shoulders
summer love burns

If life were a wave destined
to crash upon it's own rocky heart
then where does life crest or where does it start
With that ripple made from a drop of your tear
that caused this rocky heart of fear

Streaks of white part the hills
a misty sun struggles to shine through
Alaska chooses to hit the snooze

red ferns between mounds
sturdy roots connecting
lovers forever
